Industrial-grade 3D printing/additive manufacturing (AM) is widely used in engine and turbine components, as well as in cabin interior components. The advantage of innovative EOS technology is the rapid and cost-effective production of functional engine components with complex geometries and specified characteristics. Fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions can be effectively reduced by saving materials and weight. Manufacturer adaptive optimization and small batch production are key areas for future applications of additive manufacturing technology. As a result, some leading aerospace companies have integrated additive manufacturing into their future production planning strategies.

Cost Reduction:Since the production of additive manufactured parts does not incur installation and molding costs, the production costs are limited to the parts themselves. Small batch production and one-off parts production also do not incur any additional costs. In addition, system components designed for optimized functionality can often be used as a single component, simplifying assembly and quality assurance processes.

lightweight design:Intelligent made by laser sintering processlightweight structurehas high strength characteristics and a weight reduction of 40-60%. At the same time, saving materials allows for more flexibility in the design and construction process, which effectively reduces aircraft fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

no tool production:EOS industrial 3D printing technology enables maximum flexibility in production planning. In addition, tool-less production requires less energy and raw materials than traditional manufacturing processes, and retrofit parts, upgrades and spare parts can be produced as needed without inventory. Given the long service life of aircraft, the additive manufacturing process can yield significant cost benefits.
